 | |
| 
 | |
| 		<p>The FreeBSD/ia64 project pages contain information about the
 | |
| 		  FreeBSD port to Intel's IA-64 architecture; officially known as
 | |
| 		  the Intel Itanium® Processor Family (IPF). As with the port
 | |
| 		  itself, these pages are still mostly a work in progress.</p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| 		<h3><a name="status">Current status</a></h3>
 | |
| 
 | |
| 		<p>The ia64 port is still considered a tier 2 platform. This boils
 | |
| 		  down to not being fully supported by our security officer, release
 | |
| 		  engineers and toolchain maintainers. In practice however the
 | |
| 		  distinction between a tier 1 platform (which is fully supported)
 | |
| 		  and a tier 2 platform is not as strict as it seems. In almost all
 | |
| 		  aspects the ia64 port is a tier 1 platform.
 | |
| 		  <br/>
 | |
| 		  From a developer point of view there's an advantage to have the ia64
 | |
| 		  port be a tier 2 platform for a while longer. We still have a couple
 | |
| 		  of ABI breaking changes in the pipeline and having to maintain
 | |
| 		  backward compatibility this early in a ports life is less than
 | |
| 		  ideal.</p>
